The Lever Seated Hip Adduction - Single Leg exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the adductor muscles of the hip. It is often performed using a lever machine at the gym, but can also be done with resistance bands or cables.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Seated Hip Adduction - Single Leg exercise, follow these steps:1. Sit on the lever machine with your back pressed against the backrest and your feet flat on the floor.
2. Adjust the lever arm so that it is positioned against the inside of your lower leg, just above your ankle.
3. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you lift one leg off the floor and out to the side, keeping a slight bend in the knee.
4. Slowly bring your leg back towards the center, squeezing your inner thigh muscles as you do so.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other leg.
6. Be sure to keep the movement controlled and avoid swinging your leg or using momentum to lift it.
7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and focus on maintaining proper form to maximize the effectiveness of the movement.
8. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the lever machine or use a resistance band or cable for added resistance.
